Birch Bay watch dog committee’s review Jim There is talk of Birch Bay getting a grade school in 4 to 5 years, and the construction of boat launch with a pier in approximately 2 years. This was discussed at meetings that Jim was in attendance. Old Business Insurance: We have insurance purchased for year September 2006 through August 2007. We increased the liability umbrella coverage an additional 2 million from the 1 million, giving us a total liability umbrella of 3 million. The property replacement value was increased by 4%, which is the industry standard. Snapper, Schuler, Kenner Insurance has advised us to increase an additional 6% giving us a total increase of 10% over the last year. The reasoning is that construction costs in Whatcom County have increased more than 4%. Paul Kenner is getting us a quote on what that additional value coverage would cost in premiums. We can add increased value to our insurance package at any time. Paul Kenner suggested we might want to pay to have a professional evaluate our complex and give us a professional opinion of replacement costs. The evaluation would cost us. Although, regardless of premium costs, we need to be at replacement costs according to our CC&Rs. Tabled to October meeting Review of Bylaws Tabled to October meeting New Business Discussion took place about recreational vehicles and owners personal cars in the parking lot, to confirm ownership of these vehicles.
